I was out there and made a few passes...nothing too fast but did finally get my 60' back where it needs to be; lowering springs were hurting me badly.

Does any one know what the black Vette runs. My son said it was running hard till the 1/8th then letting out. I think its a black on black vert.

We set a new best of 10.108 @ 132 with a 6.43 1/8th @ 106 and a 1.39 60' Oh yea! Car is running out of gear at the finish.

Time for a direct port and see some mid nines . Still street driven to and from the track. We aren't scared! R U !

That would be mine with the 17" black rims; the blue one with polished welds (or similar rim) I believe is a pretty quick car since I think people were confusing mine with it. I think it launches hard and maybe pulls wheels? I didn't get to spectate too much last night

I only have a cold air intake and programmer so my launches aren't too hard for right now; it'll come in time.

is what the car usually looks like but doesn't have the white stickers on the windows anymore.
Ran me a 14.1 @ 79mph on my first pass last night after shifting to 5th instead of 3rd haha but then backed it up with a few nice runs. I think Scott got a picture of my launch so i'd like to see what it looked like. I have lowering springs in the front but basically v6 springs in the rear now since the car SUCKED when it was fully lowered.

Your car is moving out on the top end. 127mph is enough speed for a 10 sec pass. Gotta love FI.

What tires are you running? We are also running out of gear on the N2O passes. Having to shift into OD. I'm wanting to get the boot for not having a license. The car is legal too 10.0's. If you trap 135 they aren't going to be happy with you either. ALot of the NHRA rules change for those speeds regardless of the ET's. See you out at the track.
